candice was slow in her match but she did better than her return match. i actually thought it was entertaining the way the guys made fun of beth but at the same time it was kinda insuliting.

i was at the show live and it seemed great but idk i loved it!!!!
If Candice wants me to take her serious she must never do those wimpy "puter up fists" again. She was about as intimidating as Scrappy Doo when she did it.
Maybe they could pair Mickie up with Jamie Noble and have her feud with Layla? Not a perfect situation I suppose but better than sitting on the sidelines for the Woman's Title hunt or being shipped off to Smackdown... If done right it could be pretty awesome...

i LOVED Layla she was rockin!!! one of the best divas on the mic! i also couldnt stand Candice getting a cheap shot on Beth..i didnt get that..and Jillian showed why she should be in the title hunt..Beth standing up to Batista was great, and I LOLed seriously when he offered her a title shot!

Finally they put Layla in something good and entertaining. I'm excited to see how this all will unfold just happy to see my girl Layla gettin her self some TV time.
Wow last night was the first time where I sorta opened my eyes to the idea that maybe Candice has been getting to many chances. Maybe Her come back won't grow into anything great. I want to like her like i use to but it was like watching maria wrestle for second there. I tellin you Candice get in that ring girl and work your ass off cause if you blow at No Mercy it won't be a good look for you.
Good to see beth used a lot, Kelly Kelly is bound to be paired with one of the new guys. Katie lea looking pretty, Mickie good to see you off TV you need 2 more weeks off because I need a break from you lol, and come back as a psycho lesbian with new ring attire so I can love you the way I use to.

I watched the match on You Tube and the crowd appeared louder then they did on tv. Candice got some decent reaction after being gone for 11 months.
Match was fine, thankfully. Candice looked and moved slow but more than likely she's still has to comfortable in the ring. She took it slow for a reason.
The kick off the rope came off good IMO. At least she connected it this time. Good to know she's trying new things with the little training she's had this year.
I think she'll be ready by No Mercy. I just hope she sharpens up on a few problems. Hell look at what these past two weeks have produced in Candice. (you can actually even minus a week since she went to Rome last week and couldn't train).
I thought her dropkick to Beth was nice, she just didn't hit Beth.
I hope we can get a promo next week or something so they can really emphasize on this feud. Beth just needs to drop from Glamerella, it's really taking away from Beth and the feud in general. They're trying to do two things at once with Beth and it's taking away from her reign.
I hope Beth doesn't drop the title to Candice as a way of getting Beth fully involved with Glamerella as Candice still needs build up as a title contender.
I also wouldn't mind a Jillian/Candice feud in the future. These two put on a decent showing and considering Candice's state right now, I'd like to see these two actually work (not one sided like last year)once Candice's ring rust clears away in a few weeks.
Not a bad showing, obviously some mishaps but I prefered Candice/Jillian over Mickie/Beth from last week.
I hope they really build this feud within the next THREE weeks actually, not two like they said.

Not a good night to be Beth Phoenix, eh? She gets cheapshotted by Candice, then insulted twice, threatened once (by Batista), then gets a spinebuster. But, she did manage to look strong by standing up to Batista, and standing up for Santino (who at least got a swing in on Batisa before getting planted on the ground) So, it's not a complete loss for The Glamazon.
In a weird way, this physical confrontation with Batista may put her over a little more.
Candice looked better and Jillian looked motivated. I'll have to watch Layla and Katie later, since I didn't get a chance to see them. (I had to watch my Eagles blow the game on Monday Night :P)

Candice wasn't that slow...I liked her work this week. Nice basic wrestling maneuvers in the beginning and a very nice way to hit the Candy wrapper on Jillian.
Beth was amazing, too. She had a lot going on this week for her.
Nice crowd reaction for Candice and I like how the crowd responded to her when she called for their support. When Michelle does it, she doesn't get the same reaction...

You know what I don't get about you fans ?? That some of you can't see a truly bad WORKER while watching every week. Candice moves like molasses. Jillian was screaming so the crowd would boo Candice couldn't even get the crowd into the match. A babyface is USELESS if they can't get some cheers. My point is, out of all the girls there, Candice is only being looked at as serious because some of you think wrestling is real and can't tell the difference between a person who can do things right and a chick with a hot rack.
Mike
· 1 year ago
Crystal, I honestly didn't see anything really botched. There's a difference between botched and a move not being performed quickly to the point of where it comes off choppy, which is how Candice was last night.
If she botched up the ring, tell me all the things she botched. Not trying to start anything but I couldn't recall it, can you help me recall it? :)

Candice just changed to much. If you see her before the injury and now you'll see a LOT OF CHANGES. I think that the WWE wants to change Candice a little to fasr, but they should try to do it more slow. Change her a step at a time not like to fast like now! The WWE changed her to much!And the "chip shot" to Beth wasn't something shocking. Every Diva will throw a chip shot now or later on.
It was kind of mean what Layla said to Jamie cause she maid it sound SO REAL!!!
I thought Batista was gonne KISS Beth! L.O.L

The match was better then last week's match. Leave that to your own interpretation.
I found it irritating that The King was going on about how Candice "got one over on Beth" when she dropkicked her out of the ring when in was just a cheap shot, something completely akin to what Jillian, Layla, Victoria or Melina (in her heel days) would have done. IMO, it was more of a coward move then a face move, something like she wanted to face Beth, but didn't want to get into the ring with her just yet. Candice's boxing/hustling moves in the rings pre-dropkick looked awkward as hell too.
She did pull off some good moves and I think that if she and Jillian worked together some more, they would have some solid chemistry. I especially liked the hair slam thing from the turnbuckle. It seems very effective and if she added a little bit more, it could be a finishing move.
I love King Regal and Queen Layla, hands down.
And then I think Beth standing up to Batista and actually just standing in the ring with the likes of Orton, Batista and JBL is a testament to how strong of a character she's coming off as. I don't see it taking away from her "Glamazon" status in the slightest.

LMAO Mike, you don't know how many times I get that !! I'm a wrestler on the indies and sometimes it just bugs me that folks don't pick up on what seem to me to be apparent things. I'm sure If I were to get a shot on live Raw, and brought forth a performance like that, I'd surely be told to brush up and neer try WWE again LOL !!
But you are def. correct, there were no botches, but definetly poor movement. I alaways say, when you get to WWE, you can't be PERFECT (as no one can ever be), but you should look like you've got some years of experience. Thnks for not taking the comment TOO seriously !

I disagree with this feeling that Beth's confrontation with Batista makes her look bad. In a place with any other diva would've cowered and taken Batista's potshots, Beth didn't.
And the crowd responded accordingly. Maybe I was watching a different show, the crowd was going nuts when Beth got in Batista's face after he took out Santino.
As a huge Batista fan(girl), it had me marking out for Beth more than anything else. The fact that she isn't afraid to stand up to men (for her man no less) will work out for the best, IMO.
Melanie

I think people aren't reading what I wrote properly. I have no problem with the segment between Beth and Batista. It was well done and I enjoyed it and I have no problem with her mixing it up with the top stars or taking bumps from Batista. But this segment could have been achieved just as well without the insinuation of Beth being a man by JBL.

This site is getting boring. I am sick of your guys saying the same thing week after week. I don't even check up here anymore because I know exactly what you are going to say. For intense, with Maryse and Michelle, you are going to say how sloppy Michelle is and say she is wearing something ugly, and then rave over Maryse. Then For next weeks Smackdown match you are going to say that everyone did a great job except Maria. It just seems that alot of the stuff posted on this site is really negative.
But this isn't an attack, I still love and respect Melanie and Erin, this is just constructive criticism.

When JBL said 'Mr. and Mrs. Phoenix' he wasn't calling Beth a man, he was saying she ran the relationship. He was basically calling Santino a woman.

Lol ???, the fact that you can't actually use your real name says a lot. Coward. Did you ever think that maybe if the product wasn't so crap, we'd have less need to be negative? And for your information, both Erin and I are big fans of Michelle's work actually =)
Manda, JBL said 'Mr and Mr Phoenix'. I thought he said Mr and Mrs too, but someone told me he said 'Mr and Mr' and I went back to look at it and he did.

christi - Layla's accent last monday was too forced. "Pardon me!" WTF? Maybe she can't use "Excuse me" anymore. :p

Lacey
· 1 year ago
I agree with Manda about the turnbuckle-leapfrog-hairgrab-whatever-the-heck-that-move-was. I don't know about it so much as a finisher, but I think it could make a neat little signature move. As for that kick after bouncing off the ropes... meh, not a fan. I'm glad to see Candice got it right this time, but I think it looks bad. I don't even think it's her fault either! I swear! It just seems... too slow? I can't imagine it happening faster than that either, so I have to say blah to that.
I'm tired of my girl Jillian jobbing out. She's such an awesome talent and really great in the ring when allowed to work it. ;.; C'mon, WWE, stop letting me down!
I think the segment with Beth in the ring did nothing to stomp on her or the women's division. I think that, yeah, there was definitely not an ideal choice of words there with the "Mr. and Mr. Phoenix" bit, but all the same she stood her ground. After JBL and Orton had run scared, she still stuck around and stood up to Batista. She stayed in his face, didn't back down, and he continued to sell the slaps she gave him like they seriously hurt. I don't think she was diminished in ANY capacity beyond the "Mr." part, but I don't think that's what will stand out from that segment on down the line. ;.; IMO. I agree that it could have gone over just as well WITHOUT JBL's comment, but the guy's gimmick is a loud-mouthed ass. If he HADN'T said something inappropriate it would've been strange to me. =P I do really see your point though.
Finally... in this message which is far too long... I freakin' love Layla. I'm so glad she's getting a chance to shine! She's gorgeous, charismatic, and brings a heck of a lot to the table. Regal is another favorite of mine, so these two together is like a dream come true. I can't wait to see how this progresses!

I loved the blog anyway, i agree with every thing you said. When i first heard JBL say the Mr/Mrs Comment. I thought he said Mr and Mrs, but he did say Mr and Mr, could have been a mistake i think because Beth and Santino didnt react when he said it but thats what i think anyway.
Lacey
· 1 year ago
while I'm just lurking around and being obnoxious, haha, I also have to majorly disagree with Layla "failing" at sounding posh. I think that there was a change in her word choice that fit the character, but as for her accent... it was the same as it has always been. imo, as always!

people have to remember that not everyone from England sounds the same..different areas have different dialects

Lol wtf was Candice wearing? Aside from her repulsive ring attire, she put on a good match (except for the botched CandyWrapper). Far more improved from her dreadful return. Layla was smoking and really delivered the goods tonight. I'd love to see some British royal faction with Regal, Layla and the Burchills.
As for the Beth/Santino/main eventers promo, I felt a lot of the comments were pretty demeaning to not only Beth, but the women's division as a whole, which I feel had worked hard recently to throw off the stigma associated with it. Still, it's WWE. There's no reason to expect they'd actually respect women.

eh i thought they all did a good job monday night. i'd personally love to see jillian pushed over candice, but if candice can take the title off beth it will be good to see a heel chase the title; a heel that is not beth phoenix.
imo beth has kinda grown out of the raw diva division, kinda like kong has grown out of the knockouts. there is just nothing real special about them when they face women, but beth shines when mixed with the male roster. i think it would be good for her career to take the title from her via a screw up from santino, and continue to use her to make santino come off as well as she has. thus leaving heels like katie, jillian, layla, and possibly melina if she returns as a heel, to chase the title for a change. that or turn one face and go after beth, cause im sick of seeing mickie/beth.

Totally agree Chirsti, I see comments and people are talking about Layla and her accent as if she were American born and bred and was attempting an English accent and failing. They also sound as if they think England is a town not a country.. we have SO many different accents in England it's unbelievable. Even people living in London can have different accents. I love Layla's voice! <3
